Computer Science and Information Systems, M.S.
The Department of Computer Science in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Information Systems and Operations Management in the Cameron School of Business offer a joint program of study leading to the Master of Science degree in computer science and information systems. This interdisciplinary program is targeted primarily at students who received undergraduate degrees in computer science or information systems and at computer professionals with equivalent academic preparation. A secondary audience for the program is students whose background is in related areas such as business, mathematics, and electrical engineering, or working professionals seeking to migrate to the information technology arena. The interdisciplinary nature of this program provides a unique balance of advanced scientific knowledge, commonly found in the computer science field, and the development of systems and solutions, applied in a business environment, usually considered the focus of the information systems field. This unique blend will provide a foundation for information technology professionals to have a broader perspective of the rapidly expanding and evolving science of technology and how it can be managed and leveraged to support and further commerce and trade activities.
